Some conversations are especially pointless.

I won't provide any added context to my post though, so you guys will never know which conversation I'm referencing.

In his conversation with Kedric Prince upon deciding to transfer;

Morez expressed frustration with his role under coach Brad Underwood: “Mr. Prince, I am not just a guy who can rebound, set picks, and dunk. I am more than that, but the person running the offense didn’t believe in me. No matter how many times I showed it in practice, it wasn’t enough. I can’t allow my career to end up like Kofi (Cockburn)"

First post game interview with new team you go straight into "Dusty May is letting me evolve my game". Seems like a fairly obvious A to B progression from me.

I don't think you have to mention Brad or Illinois when you have context.

Thanks for sharing. I had never read that but it definitely seems to align his current comments as being a negative towards Illinois staff.

Side note, Morez lit up the scoreboard, but he almost had as many missed 3's as he did rebounds.

I think our staff knew something but MJ still doesn’t get it. He probably would have had a double-double here with the same matchup and only needing to prove he can shoot threes in the combine for the next level. Now he’ll have to overcome the stigma of shooting 3’s poorly in games…

I didn't watch but I have a hard time believing Oakland consistently guarded Morez with one of the two guys they played who are 6-1 and under. Guess it's possible though.

Gordon was Indianapolis kid. Tremendous home town pressure to play for Indiana. He only played 1 year in college. Had had a long NBA career.
Alexanders stunt with Illini hat was immature. Got declared ineligible mid season due to taking money. Not drafted. played 8 games for trailblazers then spent next 10 years in g-league then overseas.

I'm not here to discuss Morez's comments, but something interesting I found was that Yaxel's injury is supposedly why he didn't start but he ended up playing a good amount of minutes. Morez had a great game so the question is- who hits the bench when Yaxel is healthy?

I wouldn't be shocked if Arkansas won in East Lansing, though I hope that doesn't happen. However, I am betting on Sparty and my answer is that Indiana loses to Marquette at the United Center ... just seems like the type of game where their fans will show up in droves and get hyped up and then lose, looking like crap. :ROFLMAO: The first game where I would be shocked if the Big Ten team won is Minnesota's road game at Missouri.
